Years ago...I think it was in 1999 or 2000. The local YMCA in Union had wanted to do a campaign that would encourage people to join by showing them results. The campaign was me and others that worked at the station weighing ourselves and doing a body fat analysis.

I remember stepping on the scale and seeing that I had weighed 275 pounds. I was shocked. I knew I was too heavy but was truly surprised to see that I had been that heavy. I swore to myself that I would never let myself get any heavier. During the six month campaign I worked with a personal trainer and lost 25 pounds and was down to 250. As you can tell by reading this blog I have not done what I said I would do.

So here I am...several years later weighing in at 275 and thinking I've accomplished something that years ago I thought was the worse of the worse. Interesting how things change.

Now that I'm married and I have kids and I have much more responsibility and realize the health constrains of being over weight, I believe I will concurred weigh issues and maintain. Let's keep moving forward.
